Nice job! The meters filling/emptying all at different rates lead to some stressful scenarios where stuff starts to really pile up. The fact that some hallways can be difficult to line up really adds to the tension.
It might be wise to reorganize the apartment for an updated release, there's a lot of dead ends (tub, bed, dishes) that might remove interesting multi-tasking decisions from the game. The garbage in the center feels like the most interesting space since you can choose a few different nearby targets from it.
Thanks for the feedback!
And I am planning to continue this after the jam so this is a really good note, I want to have varying floor plans so will be sure to take this into account. I've played it again after reading this and I see what you mean.
Really appreciate the advice, thank you! :)
This was a really fun game, definitely felt out of control, the voice over made it so much easier for me to understand what I had to do at first, great job!
Thanks so much, glad you had fun with it! :)
Great concept! My highscore was 19 days. For some reason, somehow, I was able to be able to play the game and understand it with out a tutorial, which made the game fun for me!
Thanks so much!
I'm really glad to hear that as I was worried that some aspects of the game weren't clear enough. Thanks for playing and glad you had fun!
Oh man, I did not expect a game to make me happy I live in a tiny apartment, haha! Apparently I can only survive about a month with so many rooms. Playing this was a blast, and had me in stitches as my life slowly began to spiral out of control.
Hahaha now there's an impact I never expected this game to have! :)
Thank you so much for the feedback and glad you had fun with this!
This is a very cool game ! I survived 38 days !
Special mention of this google-like voice it's really fun !
I think 38 days is the highest I've seen anyone get yet, most people tend to make to around the high 20's at most! :D
Thanks so much for playing and for your feedback, glad you enjoyed the game!
THIS IS SO COOL, seriously, I couldn't stop but laugh throughout the entire playthrough. The sound design is on point, especially the voice of a woman about me losing everything, this was so insane and hilarious at the same time XD
I think it is the best game about losing the sanity, because I really did trying to survive as long as I can. I really with the game was expanded into a full game with different rooms, features etc. But it already is fun and polished. And the art style with all the vignette fits the game perfectly. I loved the game, keep making games!
Wow, thanks so much for the awesome feedback and so glad you had fun with it! :D
I will definitely be expanding the game after the jam by adding more rooms and more life scenarios to drive people insane, I've already got a decent backlog of features to add. I honestly didn't even think I would finish a game in time for this jam never mind end up with one that people had this much fun with, it's been such a great experience.
Thanks again!
Nice to hear that, best of luck! :)
